Comprehensive renovation work is underway in areas lacking drinking water infrastructure and in areas where the infrastructure has reached the end of its economic life. Through these efforts, ASAT aims to provide citizens with an uninterrupted supply of safe drinking water.
As part of the investment, in the first phase, a 7,500-meter-long, 800-mm-diameter, a 1,500-meter-long, 600-mm-diameter ductile iron pipeline will be laid from the water supply area to be established in the Çayköy neighborhood toward the center of Kalkan. A pumping station with a capacity of 800 m³ and a drinking water reservoir with a capacity of 5,000 m³ will be constructed along the pipeline route. In addition, the pipeline’s crossing under the highway will be carried out using the horizontal directional drilling method. As part of the project, where excavation work for the pumping station, reservoir, and drinking water pipeline has already begun, construction of reinforced concrete structures is scheduled to commence in August.
NEW RELOCATION IN THE KINIK AND OVA REGIONS
As part of the same project, the existing drinking water transmission line extending from the Saklıkent region to the center of Kınık will be relocated. In this context, the project will involve the installation of 11,500 meters of 630 mm-diameter OPVC pipe in the region, a 2,500 m³ drinking water reservoir, and subsequently, a 5,000-meter-long, 315-mm-diameter OPVC pipeline will be constructed. In this region as well, the road crossing will be achieved using the horizontal directional drilling method.
A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR TOURISM AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS
By strengthening the drinking water infrastructure in the neighborhoods of Kalkan, Çayköy, Kınık, and Ova—all part of the Kaş district—this investment aims to provide permanent solutions to the increasing water demand. The project will prevent water loss and leaks through pipeline relocations and ensure the network system is operated in a healthier and more sustainable manner. All work under the project is scheduled to be completed by the first quarter of 2027.
